Out of all of Marvel’s major characters, I figure Captain America has the trickiest costume to pull off on screen. All you’ve got to do for Spidey is cut his outfit from an odd material to make it work and Iron Man’s suit actually looks cooler in real life, but Cap… well, there’s been a history of misfires with him, hasn’t there? Either the cowl fits weirdly (like in the 40’s serials) or there’s a silly motorcycle helmet (like in the 70s TV movies) or there are weird rubber ears  (like in the direct-to-video 90s flick.) The wings, rodeo gloves and pirate boots look great on the page, but less so in real life, as many a convention-going cosplayer will evidence.

I bring this all up because there’s a scoop that’s been making the rounds regarding Cap’s costume for the upcoming movie - - the one Chris Evans will be wearing. The dudes at Joblo got a set visit and, while they weren’t able to post any pictures, they did put up a detailed description which you can read below.

A fan put together a visualization of that description, which you can see above.  It’s supposed to be the “real” costume, while there will be a gaudier, more comics-true outfit Cap will be wearing for his USO appearances.
 == TEASER ==

I don’t know - - I personally think it would’ve been easiest to go with the redesigns Bryan Hitch did for ULTIMATES.  Both suits were able to balance the signature Cap design elements with practical concerns and still look pretty badass. The World War II-era army fatigues version is actually one of my favorite costumes anywhere. And I still think they’re going to use the stenciled wings from Hitch’s other redesign for the 616-Universe Cap in REBORN.  Hell, just have Hitch redesign everything.

Anyway, click this to read the secret costume description.

The trademark wings that flank the side of Cap's hood are gone. In fact the "hood" is gone entirely. In its place is a more traditional M1 Army helmet though this helmet does come over the eyes to give Cap a traditional "domino mask" look. Still present is the white "A" in the middle of the hat (nothing fancy, this is the traditional font), though like the rest of the costume, the blue of the helmet is much more muted than the blue in the comic costume. A thick black strap comes down over the ears and connects under the chin.

Cap is wearing a blue neck piece but from what I saw, it's hard to tell if this is connected to something under the helmet or whether it's something like a turtleneck (I'm gonna guess the latter). 

On his chest still lies the white star though it's not as prominent as the comic version. The costume is still split horizontally through the middle with blue on top and red and white stripes on the bottom. But instead of stripes, it's actually just a white base with two red utility straps acting as stripes. These straps affix to a metal loop at the midpoint of the chest and a black strap extends up to the shoulders from that point.

His shoulders have pads over them that extend down to about mid-bicep and are attached via a brown strap under the arm. The sleeves (for lack of a better word) are white with a fairly standard brown glove.

The fabric of the costume doesn't look like the scaled material of SPIDER-MAN but more of a leather fabric, like something you'd see on one of the X-MEN. Cap wears an old school utility belt, the likes of which we haven't seen much in modern superhero movies. Utility belts were a staple of comic superheroes but haven't made the transition but here Cap sports a rather thick belt made up of brown pockets with a silver buckle.

As you might expect, there's no codpiece to be found and Cap is wearing blue pants tucked into brown utility boots. The pants aren't skin tight but they aren't baggy either. And for those who are curious, the pants actually have a fly so Cap can take a leak if he needs to.

" That granite back-drop really makes this look like a vanity photo from a mall photographer."
 
that 's great.

since its a period piece movie i can dig it, but  i hope the cowl returns for the avengers,

Not digging the Mighty Ducks style shoulder pads but I bet it'll look better when it's not a horrible digital painting project. I like the rest though.

Danhimself has posted true concepts! They look cool, but still... I would never say that the suit was built in the time of the World War 2

" If those cocepts that danhimself posted are actually what the costume will look like then i am ALL for it. I like it alot. "

If these were leaked or let out, its possible these are unused concepts.  Maybe the real ones are close to this, but I am not sure the studio would leak what Cap will look like in the movie just yet, and probably not in this way.
They tend to keep these things secret till the movie comes out.

OMG Best costume ever after Bucky Cap
